Not really. It has a few Google and Sony "gimmick" type of apps. You can disable them but not uninstall. The only non Sony\Google apps is AVG Security app which can only be disabled as well. But it isn't bad compared to other devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bloatware is typical for most Sony phones. It's lighter than something like Samsung, but does come with things like Amazon apps, AVG, Sony apps, and the normal Google apps. Some of the Sony apps are duplicates of Google apps like Calendar, Music, Email, Movie Creator, and News, but most can be disabled. However complete removal isn't possible for most of the included apps. Disabling them will at least prevent updates from taking up more room. All things considered, it's not too bad and there's still plenty of room on the onboard 64GB.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. One of the biggest pros, for me, was this phone didn't come with tons of bloatware pre-installed on it. There are some Sony apps installed on it but these are basic apps like music, photos, etc. These can't be uninstalled but they're not annoying apps like you see on Samsungs.
